This course uses gentle yoga standing poses to improve our balance and make leg muscles and bones stronger. We will utilize poses for strengthening upper body muscles and incorporate neuron training for memory improvement.  Each class includes restful breathing sequences to calm the mind and nervous system and leave each participant feeling relaxed and refreshed. Exercises may be performed seated or standing. Wear comfortable clothing and have a chair and exercise mat available.

(Note:  This group will meet in person.  Masks will be required.  Microphones and an amplifier will be provided.)  We are faced with personal dilemmas every day. You may be surprised to learn that others struggle with many of the same things you do. Hearing how someone else has used a new approach to solve a problem can be very helpful. As we get older it gets more and more difficult to meet people for a good talk. We will also speak each month to let the group know of any interesting activity, book, movie, place, you have discovered. There will be no talk of politics. You are invited to join us for lunch after the meeting. Dates are. Sept. 22, Oct. 13, Nov. 10, and Dec. 8. Limit: 20
